BACKGROUND Gastric leak (GL) represents one of the main early-onset postoperative complication of sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Most studies of GL featured short series and no data on the time to reoperation for persistent GL. OBJECTIVES Characterize the time between discovery of persistent post-SG GL and the implementation of reoperation. SETTING University hospital, France, public practice. ...

We refute a recent claim in the literature of a " new " quantum deformation of GL(2). Until the year 2000 it was not clear how many distinct quantum group deformations are admissible for the group GL(2) and the supergroup GL(1|1). For the group GL(2) there were the well-known standard GL pq (2) [1] and nonstandard (Jordanian) GL gh (2) [2] two-parameter deformations. (The dual quantum algebras ...

We introduce and demonstrate a new mapping for generating music from the 2D Cellular Automata “Game of Life” (GL). The core of this mapping is based on a polar co-ordinate system with origin at the GL grid centre. Such a polar approach is designed to better capture the radial symmetry inherent in the rule set for GL. The radial symmetry of the GL rule set is key to the visual experience of obse...

In this paper, we will give the subconvexity bounds for self-dual GL(3) L-functions in the t aspect as well as subconvexity bounds for self-dual GL(3) × GL(2) L-functions in the GL(2) spectral aspect.

On the eigenvalue problem for arbitrary odd elements of the Lie superalgebra gl(1|n) and applications Abstract In a Wigner quantum mechanical model, with a solution in terms of the Lie superalgebra gl(1|n), one is faced with determining the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for an arbitrary self-adjoint odd element of gl(1|n) in any unitary irreducible representation W. We show that the eigenvalue p...

Glycyrrhizin (GL) has been used in Japan to treat patients with chronic viral hepatitis, as an anti-inflammatory drug to reduce serum alanine aminotransferase levels. GL is also known to exhibit various biological activities, including anti-viral effects, but the anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) effect of GL remains to be clarified. In this study, we demonstrated that GL treatment of HCV-infected H...

PURPOSE To evaluate the hypotensive effects of glycyrrhizin (GL) on a rabbit model of ocular hypertension (OH) induced by triamcinolone acetonide (TA). METHODS Forty New Zealand White Rabbits were divided as follows: control (intravitreal injection of sterile saline solution); GL (intravitreal injection of sterile saline solution, then fed with 25mg GL/day); TA (intravitreal TA injection); TA...

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) gH-gL complex is essential for virus infectivity and is a major antigen for the host immune system. The association of gH with gL is required for correct folding, cell surface trafficking, and membrane presentation of the complex. Previously, a mammalian cell line was constructed which produces a secreted form of gHt-gL complex lacking the transmembrane and cytopl...

metabolic diseases in china have been on the rise in recent decades, partially due to reduced cereal consumption and excessive intake of low glycemic index (gi) foods such as meat and oil. although the relationship between dietary glycemic load (gl) and various metabolic diseases has been extensively studied worldwide, it is unclear whether dietary gl is related to blood lipid levels and dyslip...
